Sadie: Long Live Little Free Libraries!
Long Live Little Free Libraries!
By: Sadie spiller
Picture this: You are strolling down the sidewalk and you
see something strange. It looks like a birdhouse, but it’s much larger.
You move closer and you realize that it has books inside. What could it
be? A Little Free Library!
A Little Free Library works like this: it starts off with
10 to 30 books in it. Then you get one of your books and trade it
out for one the books in the Little Free Library. Once you put your book
in the library, it doesn't belong to you anymore, but...you do get to
keep the book that you took out. This
part is optional, but I always like to put my name on the inside of the cover,
so the person who gets that book next knows who had it before them.
I think Little Free Libraries are amazing and I visit
them frequently. However, I have started to notice something about them.
Most of the books in the libraries
are adult books, which leads me to think that a lot of kids don't know about the Little Free Libraries.
I want to encourage you to visit them, so we can boost the amount of kids
books in the libraries.
